    Hi,

    Are you sure there isn't a latch that is preventing the use of a Camera?

    Resolve it yourself: Camera not working in Windows

    Please supply the following Information.

    Right-click the Start button and Choose the Run option

    Type in msinfo32

    Press enter.

    Take a screenshot of the System Summary window and post it in the next reply.

    I look forward to your response and am eager to collaborate until we find a solution.
